I’m curious what percentage of lemmy are in the trades I.e have a trade job plumber electrician mechanic etc vs in the service industry working at a shop in retail vs a business position working from a computer all day in an office.
I’ll put five comments bellow.

Up vote what category you fall into
I myself am a crane technician so I am in the trades.
Mods can remove if this isn’t allowed
Unemployed
Office.
Study
Office
Something with logistics and data for a big Swedish furniture store.
Healthcare adjacent or service provider (massage therapist) not sure that fits anywhere
I was hands on, travel-to-site, IT support for a long while. I loved it tbh.
I just kinda assumed we’re all programmers here tbh. Maybe the occasional engineer too.
Manufacturing here.
60% work from home “office”, 30% on site at an assembly and test facility, and 10% visiting customers to fix problems. Not sure where that falls. I do a mix of technical and customer service and office work so who knows.
Nice try, Zuckerberg
Office
I have an office job, but I work with a lot of tradies.
Trade - trim carpenter/grunt/cheap labor
None of the above, I think? I deal with boaty things. Computery stuff regarding survey boaty things, to be precise.
If I absolutely had to choose, I’d say internal support for a trade, although I think a trade would involve trade school.
Actually, on paper I’m considered office personnel, although my “office” is my bedroom, and 20% of the time I’m on the far side of the world.
None of those, I’m in the restaurant industry.
